Hospitals have been forced to cancel crucial treatments and surgeries since thousands of trainee doctors stopped working February 20 to protest against proposed training reforms, but the government has not changed tack, instead threatening striking medics with legal action. "The number 2,000 is not a random figure we came up with. We have thoroughly reviewed relevant statistics and research and reviewed present and future medical situations," Yoon said in a televised national address.Thousands of doctors are facing the suspension of their medical licences, but Yoon urged medics to return to their hospitals before the process was complete.
The public initially sympathised with the government in the ongoing doctors' strike, but recent polls have indicated sentiment has shifted, with nearly 60 percent of people surveyed in a Dong-A Ilbo poll Monday saying the government should adjust the scale and timing of the reform.
